Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 4,425,715, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 4,425,715 | |
| -1 | -4,425,715 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,425,715.
Example:
1 x 4,425,715 = 4,425,715
and
-1 x -4,425,715 = 4,425,715
Notice both answers equal 4,425,715
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,425,715 and divide it by 2:
4,425,715 ÷ 2 = 2,212,857.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,212,857.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 4,425,715 | |
| -1 | -4,425,715 |
Now, we try dividing 4,425,715 by 3:
4,425,715 ÷ 3 = 1,475,238.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,475,238.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 4,425,715 | |
| -1 | -4,425,715 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,425,715 ÷ 4 = 1,106,428.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,106,428.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 4,425,715 | |
| -1 | 4,425,715 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 31 | 35 | 155 | 217 | 1,085 | 4,079 | 20,395 | 28,553 | 126,449 | 142,765 | 632,245 | 885,143 | 4,425,715 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -31 | -35 | -155 | -217 | -1,085 | -4,079 | -20,395 | -28,553 | -126,449 | -142,765 | -632,245 | -885,143 | -4,425,715 |
